BPI take 5 to court

The British Phonographic Industry are taking five people to court for P2P music swapping. They've already settled out of court with about 60 people according to this Guardian report but failed to reach a settlement with the folk they are suing. One woman has claimed she doesn't have the means to pay the £4000 the BPI are asking. In a familiar story, the teenage daughter was alledgedly involved in the copyright infringement and her mother has no computer skills and doesn't use the machine at all but "just pays the bills."
